Update and Review of Clinical Psychologist

Psychopathology
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Objectives
❖ Key Changes. Identify key changes from earlier revisions of the
DSM-5 with the aim of developing and refining skills to better
diagnose and ultimately treat a broad range of psychopathology.
❖ Survey Course. Identify common psychopathology, including
symptomatology, etiology, course, and best-practice treatments.
❖ Similarities and Differences. Identify intersections and divergence
between the DSM-5 and ICD-10.
❖ Diversity. Identify social determinants of mental health, such as
culture, gender, socioeconomic status, and other diversity issues.

ICD-10: A Closer Look


COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

ICD: Objectives
The 194 member countries of the WHO agree to utilize the ICD as the
standard approach for collecting and reporting health information.
❖ To monitor epidemics/threats to public health/disease burden
❖ To identify vulnerable/at risk populations
❖ To define obligations of WHO member countries to provide free or
subsidized health care to their populations
❖ To facilitate access to appropriate health care services
❖ As a basis for guidelines for care and standards of practice
❖ To facilitate research into more effective treatment

What are the implications?


Two major classifications of mental disorders:

❖ hinders the design of clinical trials aimed at developing
new treatments or interventions
❖ hinders international regulatory agencies from globally
applying results of clinical trials
❖ complicates the replication of scientific results across

Marisol is a 23-year-old recent graduate of the psychology program at UP Diliman.
In the last 3 weeks, her mood has been low, and at times, her friends have noticed
that she easily gets irritable. During those weeks she has slept for up to 12 hours, at
times skipping dinner or breakfast because she either overslept or she has little-to-no
appetite. She reports losing some weight in the past few weeks. She has difficulty
concentrating for the board exam, which she will take in about a month, although
she reports being able to study sufficiently for her needs. She feels tired most of the
time, nearly every day. She describes feeling worthless, although she does not
endorse thoughts of death or suicide. She has lost interest in some hobbies, like
going for a jog around campus or reading books. She reports being able to go to
part-time work at the local coffee shop and to volunteer at a local crisis center for
street children. She continues to see friends on occasion, and she regularly keeps in
touch via phone and email with her family in Cagayan de Oro. However, overall she
describes her mood as sad most of the time.

Delusions
Fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting
evidence; content may vary:
❖ persecutory: one is going to be harmed, harassed (most common)
❖ referential delusions: gestures, comments, environmental cues, etc., are
directed at oneself
❖ grandiose delusions: having exceptional abilities, wealth, or fame
❖ erotomanic delusions: falsely believing that another person is in love with
him/her
❖ nihilistic delusions: believing that a major catastrophe will happen

Hallucinations
Perception-like experiences that occur without an external
stimulus
❖ vivid and clear, with the full force and impact of normal
perceptions (i.e., the experience appears very real)
❖ not under voluntary control

Disorganized Thinking (Speech)


Formal thought disorder that is typically inferred from
the person's speech
❖ derailment or loose association: switch from one topic
to another
❖ tangentiality: answers are somewhat related or

motor behavior (including catatonia)?
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Grossly Disorganized or
Abnormal Motor Behavior (including Catatonia)

Behaviors ranging from childlike "silliness" to unpredictable


agitation, most evident in goal-directed behavior
Catatonia: marked decreased in reactivity to the environment
❖ negativism: resistance to instructions
❖ mutism and stupor: rigid, inappropriate or bizarre posture;
complete lack of verbal and motor responses
❖ catatonic excitement: purposeless and excessive motor
activity without obvious cause
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

What are negative symptoms?


COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Negative Symptoms
❖ diminished emotional expression: reductions in expression of emotions in the
face, eye contact, intonation of speech (prosody), and movements of hand,
head, and face relative to emotional content of speech
❖ avolition: decrease in motivated, self-initiated purposeful activities (e.g.,
sitting for a long time)
❖ alogia: diminished speech output
❖ anhedonia: decreased ability to experience pleasure from positive stimuli
❖ asociality: lack of interest in social interactions
Negative symptoms account for a significant portion of morbidity of those
with schizophrenia and are less common among other types of psychotic
disorders.

Obsessions
❖ Recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges, or images
that are experiences, at some time during the

checking) or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating
words silently) that the individual feels driven to perform
in response to an obsession or according to rules that must
be applied rigidly, AND
❖ The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or

Hoarding
❖ Persistent difficulty discarding or parting with
possessions, regardless of their actual value
❖ This difficulty is due to a perceived need to save the

Ultimatum Game

❖ Two people: one giver, one recipient


❖ The giver has $100 and must offer some or all of that

❖ The recipient can accept or reject the money
❖ If s/he accepts the money, the other partner gets the
remainder; if rejects, no one gets the money

Why does this matter?


COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

The Game by Joseph Henrich

❖ North Americans (e.g., Americans, Canadians) usually


offer a 50-50 split when they are the giver (Participant
1)
❖ When they are the receiver (Participant 2), they are
more likely to show an eagerness to punish their
partner for uneven splits at their own expense.
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

This suggests that Americans (and


probably many Westerners) show
the tendency to be equitable with

or fair, even at their own expense.

South America (the Machiguenga).
❖ The offer from Participant 1 was more likely to be low.
❖ However, Participant 2 rarely refused even the lowest
possible amount.

"It just seemed ridiculous to the


Machiguenga that you would
reject an offer of free money. [...]
They just didn't understand why
anyone would sacrifice money to
punish someone who had the good
luck of getting to play the other
role in the game." - J. Henrich
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

The Game by Joseph Henrich


❖ The study was repeated with 14 other small-scale societies,
from Tanzania to Indonesia.
❖ In no society (of the 14) did he find people who were purely
selfish - that is, who always offered the lowest amount and who
never refused a split.
❖ The average offer varied: e.g., In societies where gift-giving is
heavily used to curry favor or gain allegiance, the giver
(Participant 1) would often make overly generous offers in
excess of 60%, AND the receiver (Participant 2) would often
reject them. Something never observed among Americans!

What is culture?
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Culture:

Systems of knowledge, concepts, rules,


and practices that are learned and
transmitted across generations. Culture
includes language, religion and
spirituality, family structures, life-cycle
stages, ceremonial rituals, and customs, as
well as moral and legal system.
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

What is race?
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Race:

A culturally constructed category of


identity that divides humanity into
groups based on a variety of
superficial physical traits
attributed to some hypothetical
intrinsic, biological characteristics.
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

What is ethnicity?
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Ethnicity:

A culturally constructed group identity


used to define peoples and communities.
It may be rooted in a common history,
geography, language, religion, or other
shared characteristics of a group, which
distinguish that group from others.
Ethnicity may be self-assigned or
attributed by outsides.
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Key: Culture, race, and ethnicity are related to


economic inequities, racism, and
discrimination that result in health disparities.

Cultural, ethnic, and racial identities can be


sources of strength and group support that
enhance resilience, but they may also lead to
psychological, interpersonal, and
intergenerational conflict or difficulties in
adaptation that require diagnostic assessment.

Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI): DSM-5

Why is it helpful?
❖ Difficulty in diagnostic assessment owing to significant differences in
the cultural, religious, or socioeconomic backgrounds of clinician and
the individual
❖ Uncertainty about the fit between culturally distinctive symptoms and
diagnostic criteria
❖ Difficulty in judging illness severity or impairment
❖ Disagreement between the individual and clinician on the course of
care
❖ Limited engagement in and adherence to treatment by the individual
COPYRIGHT DR. RONALD DEL CASTILLO

Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI): DSM-5

Four domains of assessment:


❖ Cultural Definition of the Problem (questions 1-3): e.g., How would you
describe your problem?
❖ Cultural Perceptions of Cause, Context, and Support (questions 4-10): e.g.,
What do others in your family, your friends, or others in your community
think is causing the problem?
❖ Cultural Factors Affecting Self-Coping and Past Help Seeking (questions
11-13): e.g., Sometimes people have various ways of dealing with problems
like yours. What have you done on your own to cope with your problem?
❖ Cultural Factors Affecting Current Help Seeking (questions 14-16): e.g., What
kinds of help do you think would be most useful to you at this time?
